Jeanne, a Cape Town artist has launched a range of bags with her art printed on them. The image on each bag comes from an area of a painting. Jeanne prints only five of each design per bag to keep them exclusive and limited edition. Each bag has a label with the edition number on it. The images are printed onto PVC and covered with a liquid laminate with patent leather or leather trim. This ensures that they are waterproof and washable. All bags are fully lined. Totes and med bags have zip pocket and cell phone pocket. All materials and labour is from South Africa.
Jeanne studied Fine Art from the early - mid 80s at Technikon Witwatersrand and at Michaelis School of Art at the University of Cape Town. After setting forth into a career in advertising, the film industry, a two year stint as an art teacher and finally a journalist and publisher, she returned full time to her canvasses in 2001.Jeanne works from her studio at her Cape Town home.
In her recent work Jeanne is exploring the decorative elements of various familiar traditions and cultures, and translated them onto the canvas. "In this new context I explore decorative images as the decorative but also as the narrative where the formal communicates with the expressive, the figurative with the abstract and various mediums with one another as the various cultures meet and communicate in a visual language."
The bags are sold all over South Africa and more recently in Dubai and the USA and will shortly be available in London.
